More Heavens Than One is a coming-of-age story of young Jancy Steinmetz  as her family moves in with extended family on a farm in Australia. This seems to be a sweet tender romance. I like that it shows love without graphic sex scenes. Very refreshing. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

The book sounds good. It will be interesting to read about Australia with its downpours that quickly turn to floods or the scorching hot sun with its heat creating fires. Jancy's family relationships also seem very touching.
Her parents have an abundance of patience as her behaviour isn't always perfect. Even when there are arguments, they seem to dissipate quickly as the foundation of this family is constructed upon a strong allegiance. It is really something to be desired. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

True feelings always come up no matter how deep you bury them. Jancy's coming-of-age story sounds more interesting than a usual coming-of-age story, so I might give this book a try.

Sounds like a great romance novel. I wonder who Jancy falls in love with. Was she able to convey her feelings somehow? I've read too many romance novels in the past weeks that I switched no fantasy for now. I added it to my to-read list!

I can see how this book can be charming for anyone. I'm not much into romance novels, but seeing that it's not only about romance, I would like to give this a try if I can get my hands on it. Would like to see how Jancy copes up with growing up. Feels to me like a light read I will enjoy. Thanks for the thorough review.

By the very description of the author's other works, it is evident that you have been recruited into a romance novel fan. Soon you will start exploring the works from other authors.

Thanks for your detailed review.

The book sounds like a delightful romance with family life and coming of age themes. Jancy and her family's story makes for an easy, enjoyable and light read. Definitely one for the tbr list.

I liked the transition which Jancy makes from childhood and adulthood. Also, to be aware of the changes and the implications of the new features is a great thing. But I do not like the scenes which tackle the romantic side.

Romance is not really my cup of tea, no matter how great it is written, so I will have to pass. Congrats on BOTD, through.
